Default could somebody help me out here??

made two passes over the weekend, when my car would shift into od it would die off and feel like it stopped spraying both time. My bottle isnt empty and wasnt loosing pressure either. It didnt cut out or anything, just felt as if i were on motor. Any ideas?? I was hoping for a good pass, i cut .2 off my 60ft but only went from an 11.71@117 to a 11.64@115.

damn nice times for starters!

Are you running a window switch? Did the RPM drop below your low limit?

Past that, its going to be hard to tell you what happened without more info...

Are you running a fuel pressure safety switch? Also, mine used to lay down when it shifted to third and I found two problems. The first was it was slightly detonating because the timing was too high and the second was the bottle pressure. If you are not losing bottle pressure then you are not spraying the entire quarter mile. Mine will drop from 1100psi to 950psi in one pass. Looking at your mph you may just be spraying fuel and very little nitrous. Your N2O solenoid could be bad or losing power.

no safety switch. im mean im loosing pressure but my bottle was also around 11psi, just not losing enough that it would work improperly. surely my solenoid isnt going bad, my kit isnt even 1yr old.

Is it just me... but when your car is WOT and shfting into OD (4th gear) your doing ~135 mph.

Or, are you running really steep gears?

Is your car tuned for the nitrous or are you running a timing tuner to pull it our when engaged? My mph never dropped off that much when my nitrous didn't come on but the timing came out. I have the Ramchargers timing tuner. The lower mph could also be from you cutting a better 60'.
My first problem I ever had with my nitrous system was when the relay went bad. It was brand new and never worked. I swapped it out with a new one and it was good. You should get a significant drop in ET in every area of your timeslip if the kit is coming on. Go back and recheck everything. Take the nozzle out and verify that it is actually working. Check you jets and make sure you don't have any debris in them.
